Via Google Reviews

Back on the water – thanks to Scott of 1 Degree West. We gave Scott a jigsaw puzzle of rigging (With lots of pieces missing) and he returned a working yacht – superb work and we are delighted. Excellent rigging and sleuthing work on a gaff rig. Thoroughly recommended and welcome to the Hamble Scott.
